Does anaerobic exercise really not help you lose weight?

I believe most people usually lose weight by doing aerobic exercise. Doing aerobic exercise is very good for losing weight, it is effective and good for the body. However, some friends will do anaerobic exercise to lose weight and lose excess fat by sweating a lot. So is this method of anaerobic exercise really effective? Many people think that anaerobic exercise does not help lose weight. Now I will introduce to you whether anaerobic exercise really does not help you lose weight?

Anaerobic exercise refers to the human body performing some high-speed, intense exercise in a short period of time. When the human body exercises hard, the oxygen supply is insufficient, or the sugar in the body does not have time to be broken down by oxygen, and the body has to rely on "anaerobic energy supply", that is, the sugar in the body uses anaerobic fermentation to generate energy to supply the body's needs. The metabolites of anaerobic metabolism can only be carbohydrates, not fats and proteins.

In addition, during anaerobic metabolism, sugar is broken down into lactic acid through anaerobic glycolysis, which can cause muscle fatigue and soreness. This is why we feel muscle soreness when we do strenuous exercise or high-intensity exercise for a long time. Common anaerobic exercises include equipment training, weightlifting and throwing, running, long jump, tug-of-war, etc.

The current popular view in the international sports medicine community is that within the same amount of exercise time, the most effective exercise for fat loss is high-intensity anaerobic interval training. After stopping high-intensity anaerobic intermittent exercise, the body consumes much more energy than after stopping aerobic exercise. For some fat people, it is difficult to lose weight successfully through aerobic exercise, because it is difficult to persist in exercise for more than half an hour. Relying on short-term high-intensity anaerobic intermittent exercise to lose weight may be more effective and easier. Anaerobic exercise helps us increase muscle and shape muscle lines, and is more suitable for young people.

Okay, here the editor has given you a complete introduction on whether anaerobic exercise really does not help you lose weight. Are you satisfied with the editor's answer? Anaerobic exercise is also good for the body, but in order to lose weight, we should choose some exercises with better weight loss effects, so that we can spend less exercise time to achieve weight loss effects. Everyone should pay attention to exercising their bodies on a regular basis.
